In total, 698 maternal serum samples from Salta (n ¼ 498) and Ushuaia (n ¼ 200) were collected in 2011–2012 and analyzed for a total of 7 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and 12 pesticide-related compounds. Only 11 of the compounds had detection rates above 60% in one or both places. Compared with Ushuaian women, those from Salta exhibited higher lipid-adjusted concentrations of p,p0-DDE, p,p0-DDT, b-HCH, and PCB 118 (p # 0.003), with no differences in concentrations of PCB 153 and 138.

  • A Methodology for the Inventory and Assessment of Trails in Natural Areas Applied to the Martial Glacier Site, Ushuaia, Argentina
    Cuadernos de Turismo, nº 29, (2012); pp. 259-262 Universidad de Murcia ISSN: 1139-7861 A METHODOLOGY FOR THE INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT OF TRAILS IN NATURAL AREAS APPLIED TO THE MARTIAL GLACIER SITE, USHUAIA, ARGENTINA María Laura Borla Marisol Vereda Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco, Ushuaia, Argentina [email protected], [email protected] 1. DEVELOPMENT OF A METHODOLOGY FOR THE ACCOUNT OF TOU- RIST ASSETS ALONG TRAILS IN NATURAL AREAS A methodology for the account of tourist assets along trails allows inventorying a series of components and aspects of the landscape to make clear the process and models for space planning. This methodology is called Re.Je.Sen. (this abbreviation accounts for its Spanish name) and in this paper it is particularly applied to a mountainous area in the south of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. A new version of the methodology by Borla (1995; 1998; 1999) modified by Salemme et. al., 1999 was designed to the account of tourist assets along trails. It takes a tran- sect —the trail or path— considering all the components which can be reachable by the observer’s view, understanding the scenery as a whole. The transect is divided into sma- ller units —sectors— allowing a smaller-scale analysis. The division is based on a set of indicators —geographical, biological, cultural—. Each split is marked by a node, a set of fixed points along the trail where the hiker makes a stop because of different reasons: a panoramic viewpoint, a peculiar non-mobile component, a spot where he meets other hikers, inspires a stop for a rest or a snack.
